- 657/ fl eZZe I TORNE Y Patented July 8, 1930 UNITED STATES CHARLES WM. KELLER, OF SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA N ECKTIE HOLDER Application filed December 2, 1929. Serial No. 411,129.

This invention relates to necktie holders and especially to a type of holder adapted to be attached to a collar button in place in a collar and its band.

It is an object of this invention to provide an extremely simple and practical form of tie holder which will be effective to hold a tie in tied form up close to the collar laps.

A further object is to provide a one-piece article having a front loop to receive the tie and having a closed back loop element to receive the collar button head and neck.

The invention consists in certainadvancements in this art as set forth in the ensuing disclosure and having, with the above, additional objects and advantages, and whose construction, combination and details of means, and the manner of operation will be made manifest in the ensuing description of the herewith illustrative apparatus; it being understood that modifications, variations and adaptations may be resorted to within the scope, principle and spirit of the invention as it is more directly claimed thereinafter.

Figure 1 is a perspective of the device as applied.

Figure 2 is a perspective of the device. Figure 3 is a top plan and. Figure 4 is a rear elevation of the holder. This tie holder comprises a back-bone part 2 which has a lower button head receiving aperture 3 merging into a narrower neck receiving slot 4. From the medial part of the back bone 2 extends forwardly a band or loop 5 of suflicient size to receive the contiguous parts of a necktie T when tied in a collar C.

It will be seen that when the device is applied to a collar button B, shown in dotted 40 lines that the device will slide down on the neck of the button and that it will be securely arranged in place against accidental dislodgment from the button since if the holder plays on the collar button neck it cannot readily slip off since the apertures 3-4 form a closed slot in the back bone.

The device is substantial, of low cost, attractive appearance and is easily utilized in application and effectively holds the inserted tie parts.

The band or loop 5 lies in a plane perpendicular to the upright back bone which extends above and below the rear part of the band.

l/Vhat is claimed is:

1. A necktie holder which is adapted to be applied to a collar button in place, and comprises a closed tie receiving band, and a back-bone part at the rear of the band and extending upwardly and downwardly therefrom; said back-bone consisting of a closed loop having an elongated aperture to receive the head and neck of a collar button.

2. A necktie holder which is adapted to be applied to a collar button in place, and comprises a closed tie receiving band, and a backbone part at the rear of the band and extending upwardly and downwardly therefrom; said back-bone consisting of a perpendicular closed loop bisecting one side of the band and bisected by it and having an elongated aperture to receive the head and neck of a collar button; the aperture consisting of a narrow upper slot and a widened lower opening.
